You had to see it coming — you just didn’t know when right it would happen, right? But it’s finally starting. Flippers have got their greedy paws on the Hummer EV, and one flipper is asking for a price that’s as absurd as the truck itself.

I found this particular Hummer on . If you’re unfamiliar, it’s a private club on Facebook that’s essentially a marketplace for buyers and sellers. It’s a really great place to go to if you’re a car dealer or are looking for something high-end. Just don’t go looking for a deal. The group’s moderators make sure to point out that wholesale is just in the name:

This is the “Wholesale Car Club” and while we can’t all agree exactly what Wholesale is we know it isn’t “Retail.” Cars priced aggressively in here will sell. Cars priced at retail will not. We all have the internet and can see retail pricing. Price your car more aggressive than retail comparisons and you have a much better shot to get your car sold quickly and without a lot of brain damage usually associated with selling your car.

While some serious transactions take place here, you still come across some posts that you get a laugh out of because it’s just plain greed. Like the owner of this . Now the MSRP for the Edition 1 was $110,295. All are accounted for as well, creating perfect conditions for flippers to capitalize on those that want a Hummer EV now.

He’s asking nearly triple the MSRP for his Hummer EV: $310,000. Naturally, people in the comments are taking him apart, as they should be because this is a dumbass price. But one exchange in the comments summed this whole thing up perfectly:

So that is the new thing? People trying to make 200k profit for what reason? ????????????????

Because they can. Inflation.

It’s not inflation. That’s not what this is. This is just people accepting paying ridiculous amounts over MSRP to get a car right now instead of in a year. You can probably order for MSRP right now and wait.

And that’s exactly what this is playing on, someone rich, impatient, and ostentatious. What’s worse is that while we all laugh at this price, someone out there right now is probably getting their wire transfer information together to pay for this thing.

For $25,900, This 1999 Chevy Corvette FRC Asks How Low (In Miles) Can You Go?
For $25,900, This 1999 Chevy Corvette FRC Asks How Low (In Miles) Can You Go?
Today’s Corvette FRC has only 7000 miles on the clock, and that’s across two owners! Let’s see if the low mileage and the fixed roof add up to a price that’s low enough too. With an 83% Crack Pipe loss, yesterday’s proved that, yes, there is such a thing as...

For $22,500, This 1965 Cadillac, T-Bird, Pontiac Could Be The Most American Car Ever
For $22,500, This 1965 Cadillac, T-Bird, Pontiac Could Be The Most American Car Ever
Whether for a parade, or just to prove your patriotism to the neighbors, today’s wildly incoherent but all-American custom is a melding of all that’s great in our great nation. Let’s see if its price also lets freedom ring. Do you still consider Chrysler to be an American auto maker?...

For $21,500, Could This 1991 BMW 850i Six Speed Be Perfection?
The seller of today’s Big Bimmer claims it to be near perfection. That’s pretty hard to achieve, and so let’s see if this silver bullet’s price lives up to that purple prose. Do you ever feel bad for a car? You know, one that seemed to be built out of...

For $8,900, This Low Mileage 1992 Cadillac Allante Could Be An Unfulfilled Dream Fulfilled
For $8,900, This Low Mileage 1992 Cadillac Allante Could Be An Unfulfilled Dream Fulfilled
Cadillac claimed their Allante had the world’s longest production line, stretching 3,300 miles from Italy to Detroit. Today’s Caddy hasn’t done all that many miles since, but will you find its price worth going the extra mile? Ford’s been dusting off a lot of their former performance model monikers of...

For $5,000, This 1989 Dodge Shelby CSX-VNT Could Be A Silk Purse
For $5,000, This 1989 Dodge Shelby CSX-VNT Could Be A Silk Purse
Today’s CSX perfectly embodies the American ethos of taking something really shitty—like a Dodge Shadow—and massaging it just enough to make it do. Let’s see if this one’s price is also something you’d want to do. Picture Kate Upton in one of those fake nose and eyeglasses disguises. Maybe even...

For $3,250, This Three-Litre 1999 Ford Contour SVT Could Be Your Special Vehicle… Um, Totally?
For $3,250, This Three-Litre 1999 Ford Contour SVT Could Be Your Special Vehicle… Um, Totally?
Today’s Contour is an SVT, and that makes it a Special Vehicle indeed. The question is: will the price on this seemingly well-kept and customized Ford make it even more special? I am shocked—shocked I tell you—at the 64% Crack Pipe loss suffered by yesterday’s . Yes, its nine-grand price...
